Title
Nude Girl with Arms Outstretched, 1911. Creator: Egon Schiele.
Caption
Nude Girl with Arms Outstretched, 1911. Egon Schiele never conformed to the canons of beauty in his portrayal of the human body, which he showed in uninhibited poses imbued with eroticism. Indeed, even when they adopt provocative poses, his human figures appear to the viewer to be isolated by their alienation. As in other works, in the present watercolour the artist uses a young girl as a model, a practice that earned him a spell in prison and a conviction for offending public morals.
